Russian as a Second Language

The knowledge of foreign languages gives people new opportunities:
to feel at home in another country, to read books in the original, to understand the culture of a different country through communication with native speakers.

Our School offers opportunities to learn Russian as a Second Language to children and adults.

RSL Program for Children

Children have the natural ability to learn a new language when they start young. Learning a language early improves memory and analytic abilities,
strengthens problem-solving skills and boosts abstract thinking. The program we offer is intended for children who do not speak Russian.
It begins with introduction of the basic elements of the Russian language. The goals of our program are to teach children the following skills and knowledge in Russian:
• speaking
• listening
• reading
• grammar
• vocabulary enrichment
• ability to use correct verbal responses in different environments (at home, in the classroom or with Russian-speaking friends)
• acquaintance with everyday life realities and objects in the following countries:
Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia and other (popular games and toys, children’s verses, songs, fairy-tales, animated cartoons, films)
